GOP Rep Shrugs At Hegseth Rape Allegations: “We’ve All Had Indiscretions In Our Past And Things Like That”

“I know he’s under fire in the Senate, but he’s under fire from squishy senators who have been against everything we want to do. And so I hope he holds the line all the way through. I’m defending him and we should all defend him.

“You know, look, we’ve all had some indiscretions in our past and things like that. Every human has. But good grief.

“You know, he’s got the support of so many people and he represents somebody who would take on the defense establishment. And we need that. Desperately need that.” – GOP Rep. Chip Roy, today on Charlie Kirk’s podcast.

Roy is perhaps best known here for his regular rants that civil war is imminent, in part because Democrats will enable the imposition of “Sharia law” by immigrants. Earlier this year he called for the “ethnic cleansing” and deporting of “white progressive Democrats.”
